Frequently Asked Questions
How can drivers avoid getting caught in a pile-up on the freeway?
Keeping a safe gap from the vehicle ahead and slowing down early when traffic bunches up gives drivers more time to react if a crash happens nearby.
What should I do if I come up on a crash scene on the highway?
Slow down, turn on hazard lights if traffic is stopped or slowing, and move to the shoulder only if it's safe to do so. Stay in the vehicle unless it's unsafe, and watch for emergency crews and tow trucks working near the lanes.
Why does following distance matter so much in traffic?
A longer following distance gives a driver more time to brake or steer around trouble, which lowers the odds of rear-ending another vehicle when traffic slows suddenly.
